No one believed we would get to where we got to before the 2012 season. Most of the projected records for us in 2012 were in the 9-7 to 8-8 range, and even when we were the only undefeated team left, we still heard many excuses as to why we weren't very good. No one believed in us. So, we aren't the media darlings you say we are.

Who's picking us? The thing is in a year where the saints gave everyone a free pass, you don't squander opportunities. Saints won 13 games in 2011 and ended up a 3 seed. The two years they did not win as many games: a torn MCL that Brees got against yours truly week 3 and played hurt all season and the bountygate where Payton got suspended and our defense and even offense were filled with offseason distractions, the lawsuits with the defense and Brees holding out.

But good luck since you want to be so liked here. I just believe our team will be too fired up next year.

We just made mistakes you just can't make, and mistakes I usually don't see us make. They were just uncharacteristic of us to me. That's why I reffered to them as dumb.

Dumb mistakes, missed responsibilities, busted coverages, terrible tackling, lack of pass rush (in crucial games) ... all are indicative of a breakdown in leadership or a reflection of talent. So which is it? You can't have both. If you had both, you'da been SB champs, eh?

Not to me. They were just bad mistakes. The Falcons aren't dumb. The mistakes they made were. Don't put words into my mouth.

All this time I never said I see Ray Lewis-like leadership in us. It's not anything great, very good, or average either. It's only just good, but still our leadership doesn't make us stand out. I don't think ours is something special like theirs, but it's not a weakness either. I think that the Ravens have had the best had the best leadership for years.

Putting words in your mouth? Those are direct quotes, rookie
